Summary
We are looking for an experienced dementia Nurse to join our Health Inequalities team as an Admiral Nurse to provide specialist clinical advice and support for the Black African communities nationally for those facing issues in relation to dementia.

In addition to providing specialist dementia support to families, you will help to make dementia care more inclusive and culturally aware.
This role will work within the wider Admiral Nurse Black, African and Caribbean service, where there are currently two Admiral Nurse positions supporting these communities, with one already specialising in the Caribbean communities. Both nurses will cross-cover the service, while also developing workstreams to improve engagement within their respective communities, drawing on their community knowledge, relationships and lived experience.
The Admiral Nurse service is available to families via telephone, video consultation, and/or face-to-face within agreed remote clinic settings, where you will also provide specialist advice, best practice and support to colleagues and health care professionals. You can find out more about the Black, African and Caribbean Admiral Nurse clinics service here.
